It's diabolical, like most statues these days!
Looks like a member of an alien species who are human-like in some ways.

I was assuming it was somebody's GCSE Art exam project.

When I saw him sitting on a bench, I thought it was Manuel Benson.

The main question should be what's he ever won in his career to have a statue made

Strange isn't it how the Greeks and Romans could literally chisel perfect replicas to high detail yet 2,000-3,000 years later with CNC machinery and all the technological advancements they keep coming out with crap like that?

To be fair we have had a few statues as strikers over the years.

It doesn’t even look like him. I’d be up in arms if I was a local rate payer. What a waste of money.

Change the plinth and it would look great outside the public conveniences in the town.

Yeah, but how do we know the statue of Julius Caesar is spot on!!? Maybe Julius actually looked more like Ian Dowie in real life!

Maybe a statue of a local war hero would be more fitting.

It looks more like Gascoigne than the guy who has never won anything and blew his chance to do it with England. And I’m thinking of the 60 year old Gazza with that grey beard.

Don't know who the statues modelled on, but Kane looks like one of Beavis and Butthead.

Pay £7k for a statue and that's what you get.
Yes £7k is a lot for a council to spend but it isn't a lot for a statue. I'm sure Julius Caesar employed a master craftsman to make his by hand.

If only that were true. It would soon be eaten.
(this thought stolen from the film 'Sitting Pretty' where a woman who fancied herself as a sculptress had made a snowman and asked the pompous hero what he thought of it. 'Oh well, it will soon melt' he replied.)

I think the sculptor got his Kane and Caine mixed up.

The proportions of his feet don't look right somehow.
